The first complete fossil profile of the Spinosaurus was discovered in 1912 by German Paleontologist Ersnt Stromer. These remains were unfortunately destroyed in World War II during the allied bombing campaign of Dresden. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRecent estimates of the creature suggest it had length of 46 feet (15 meters), and weighed 8.2 tons, making the Spinosaurus one of the largest terrestrial carnivores ever to walk the earth. Most modern researchers support the thesis that the Spinosaurus was a semiaquatic dinosaur which ate both land and aquatic animals. There are a number of physiological features of the Spinosaurus skeleton which supports this thesis, such as high density bones allowing for buoyancy control, and a paddle like tail shape which was used for underwater propulsion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn fact, its habitat of swamps and tidal plains is one of the main reasons why Spinosaurus teeth are one of the most common dinosaur fossils available to the market for casual collectors. It is well known among paleontologists that muddy areas preserve fossils the best, as the mud creates a mold as the dinosaur’s bones sink in. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOur ethically sourced fossils come from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco, where our suppliers go out into the desert and collect these artifacts by hand. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know this is an original Spinosaurus Tooth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAncient Artifacts guarantees the Authenticity of items sold through a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ethree layer system of protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAncient Artifacts exclusively sources artifacts from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003etrusted and reputable antique distributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, many of whom have been selling Artifacts for decades.  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNext, the Artifact is inspected by an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eexpert\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eteam member, who is professionally trained in counterfeit detection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e After the artifact passes inspection, the Certificate of Authenticity is signed and the Artifact is packaged. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, Ancient Artifacts gives an\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eadditional layer of protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by promising a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003efull refund with no questions asked\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, in the extremely unlikely event that a counterfeit slips through our vetting process.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat will my artifact look like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive the exact item shown in the photos, along with the display stand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour order will include:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOne authentic Spinosaurus Tooth as shown in photos\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAncient Artifacts relics are guaranteed authentic and have a 100% money back policy.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ancient-artifacts-store.myshopify.com\/pages\/the-ancient-artifacts-mission-promise\"\u003eRead more about our Mission and Promise for authenticity.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Artifacts Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52434598265048,"sku":"ms_05","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/3987\/8104\/files\/ms_05_05.png?v=1789147277","url":"https:\/\/ancientartifacts.com\/products\/extra-large-spinosaurus-tooth-11-5-cm-4-5-inches-cretaceous-period-copy","provider":"Ancient Artifacts Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
